Win98SE Updates

I know Microsoft has stopped coming out with new updates for Win98SE. What I would like to know is, are all the old updates still available From Microsoft? I have checked the Microsoft web site and could not find and info on it. My reason for asking is every five or six months I reformat this Win98SE PC and when I do that reformat I have to download and reinstall all the updates for Win98SE. If all the old updates are not available any more from Microsoft, is there a way of locating all the Win98SE updates on my PC and burn them onto a disc so that the next time I reformat I can reinstall them from that disc?

Hans,

FYI - Although Microsoft has stated no new updates after 11 July 2006 will be provided, I have two machines with W98SE that received two automatic Critical Security Updates.

So ...

Microsoft is still providing "LIMITED ?!??!" security updates they think are noteworthy ?
I just let the computer continue checking for updates with the understanding that any update Microsoft allows me to have is a golden nugget to be appreciated <img src=/S/shocked.gif border=0 alt=shocked width=15 height=15> <img src=/S/innocent.gif border=0 alt=innocent width=20 height=20> ...

Re: Win98SE Updates

I appologize in advance for the length of this post and the rather "Detailed" instructions. I cut and pasted most of this from an instruction I created along time ago for family members who needed .... <img src=/S/innocent.gif border=0 alt=innocent width=20 height=20> <img src=/S/whisper.gif border=0 alt=whisper width=29 height=17> (extensive coaching) .

The second appology, my method is not TOTALLY Automatic, it involves a human to click "Scan Now" after the update page has appeard. The procedure was created for family members so they would be "Forced" to run it every Sunday Morning before heading out for their cativities.

My way, basically you need two things:

<LI>Internet Shortcut on Desktop
<LI>Task Scheduler running in system Tray

Once upon a time, I had a shareware utility that would ACTUALLY automatically get the updates, but it created trouble with my AntiVirus software allowing "Holes" in the firewall that could be exploited - thus the above procedure.
